Five hundred years before Christ, mankind bathed. Back then the ancient Greeks used bathhouses as swinging all-nude community centers. As civilization evolved (or simply grew more uptight), the soaking ritual gradually turned more and more private. Here, Jay Carroll, Frank Muytjens, Paul Osterlund, Daniel London, Annabel Barber, and Lili Göksenin guide you through eight natural springs that return us to the days of communal bathing. Travertine Hot Springs WHERE: Bridgeport, California THE VIBE: Hiker's respite A daydream of a hot springs, Travertine, pictured above, is tucked into the foothills just east of the eastern Sierras, about a two-hour drive from Yosemite Valley, home to a view of mountain cliffs and Matterhorn Peak.

It's Friday, meaning we can finally have a night on the town without worrying about whether or not our after-hours shimmying, combo-ed with a flute (or three) of champagne, will lead to a total face desk-plant come 3 p.m..

And with the weekend firmly in our sites, we can't help it that we're dreaming of what we're going to wear tonight to get heads turning over the club music (we can't vouch for our dance moves, though we think Usher would approve). The solution lies entirely in Miha's fall '11 lookbook, the label's second season from Parsons grad Youngmi Ha, whose spring debut hasn't left our wish-list.
